i know were a (2 litre) xr2 is if thats any good.

why what you done to yours?

 

[Cookee]

Erm thanks anyway, but I've got plenty of XR2 stuff - but no XS200 = that's why I want one!

 

[kiwiracer]

weve got one in NZ, wont sell it though
they are a top motor

Perry, what/how many batteries are you guys using to run the xs? Have you had any problems with batteries/charging?

 

[kiwiracer]

we use one battery, 1000cca, it is on a ski boat so only runs twin bilge pumps, starting and trim
have had no problems, it actually out performs the 225HO Evinrude Vindicator we had on the boat previously, and uses a s##t load less fuel

Jeezzz!!! That'll be like a red rag to a bull if Cookee sees it.

Ha ha ha!

Actually we're up against the 200HO, not sure if it's the Vindicator or not, but it's the ETEC one anyway and I think it's the torque from the 3.3 litre block that gives at advantage, plus of course the extra horsepower from the 10% tolerance rule that helps as well. We are obviously looking at any possibility and XS200 is flavour of the month - unfortunately there seems to ber only 1 around at the moment, and it is priced accordingly!


Dave, I might give you a call!
